TIE HOLDER.

Application filed October 17, 1922. Serial No. 595,218.

which thev following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention has for its object a small apparatus intended to facilitate the sale of ties in the stores.

It is adapted to permit of presenting to the customer, at the s'ame time, a series of ties in order that he may make his choice Without undoing the bundle.

This small apparatus is constituted by a kind of yoke, having on its cross-bar a light resilient belt adapted to hold the series of ties on this cross-bar between the two uprights of the yoke.

The advantages of this apparatus are the following:

1. It allows of showing to the customer. in a few seconds, a large quantity of ties. The space occupied by the boxes is done away with. The ties can be placed in a drawer and immediately shown to the buyer Without having the trouble to take the boxes to open them and to take out the ties. The customer can immediately make a choice from among a large number of ties, resulting in a greater chance of sale for the merchant.

Q.. It facilitates the putting in place of the ties in the sense that it is no longer nec essary to put them back one by one in boxes, which requires a g1eat deal of time, as in a few seconds eveiything is put back into place, resulting in much less manipulation and therefore much less cl'iance of soiling the ties.

3. No mixing up of the series of ties and a more regular sale.

4. The ties may be replaced as soon as they are sold and thus olfer the maximum of freshness in the series.

5. Economy of boxes, very low cost-price, very long duration.

The invention will be described hereafter,

by way of example, in the accompanying drawing in which:

Fig. l is an elevation of this tieholder. Fig. 2 is a plan view thereof. Fig. 3 is a side View. Fig. 4 shows the apparatus as used.' As will be seen in the drawing, this small apparatus comprises a support a forming a yoke and on the cross-bar b of which are tted two resilient rings c..

These rings receive a small belt d made of leather, resilient fabric or any fabric.

The two parts of the belt are secured on the resilient rings by means of press-buttons e, then attached together by means of i a buckle f provided with a retaining band g.

One of the rings receives a tongue h formed by a small folded leather strip the two parts of which are connected by a press-button z'. This tongue constitutes a gripping member facilitating the disengagement of the small belt from its support when necessary.

A bundle of assorted ties j being placed in the yoke orsupport, on the cross-bar b, it sutlices to fasten the belt d over them for holding this bundle.

The forms, details. accessories, materials and dimensions of this small apparatus may of course be varied without departing therebj.' from the principle of the invention.
